Dude! I've had a service airbag light on for so long. I checked under the seat and had a broken wire. In 30 seconds I had it soldered back together and my light is gone. Thanks!!

I’m glad I could help. 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of this problem. My son moved the front seat and the light came on. Searched for a solution and your video came up and immediately solved my problem. Thanks again for Shaping your knowledge.
You’re welcome! I’m glad I could help, and thanks for watching my video.. 👍🏼
This helped me verify a salvage yard replacement steering column with clock spring...working.
Test and verify the drivers side airbag by disconnecting batteries, wait 20min. Remove airbag, disconnect the yellow plug down by brake release. With a multimeter check for continuity between the 2 contacts of connector going to column. It should indicate good continuity. Essentially unplugged it will short the 2 wires. Then insert 2 pins into the airbag connector and with meter check for continuity. It should be good and show a solid path through the clock spring, wiring to the plug, across the plug and back to the other side of the connector. So you know the harness and clock spring are good.
Then I found the airbag plug was missing the plastic retainer that goes over the plug. I have to find the part number but it's a few dollars. The 2 side locks hold it but there's a little grey plastic part that pushes down in. The replacement was not there so had to swap it from the old plug. That's required for operation...no more airbag light.
Wow..i'm impressed! How did you ever think to check that connection under the seat! Pretty amazing video. Thanks for your help!! Not only will it turn off the light, but now you have a working airbag that could save a a life. Very cool!!
its pretty clear that he cut the wire just so he could make the video. the wire was a perfect clean cut !
Thanks for making this man just saved me a lot of time diagnosing! It's just a loose wire...😂
I’m glad I could help. 👍🏼
My service air bag light came on a couple of days ago. I was so worried my air bag would deploy going down the road. Thank u so much for sharing this video. I will check mine today
Thanks a lot. I got this message last week and i was sad, because my car still new. So I searched for the solution now in you tube and found your vid and it was the same of my broplem. Tomorrow, I will fix it my by self after i learnt how to do it.
Thanks a lot again.

I can see this happening more on extended cab or four door trucks where you seat passengers in the back, that plug connector cover can only do so much to protect it, but a persons foot can actually slide more under the seat and push down on the wires by accident causing seperation. I was having the same airbag light issue in my 2005 gmc sierra 1500, but luckily it was only the SIRS 15a fuse in the fuse box under the hood, it was actually missing, i bought the truck used, so i replaced the missing fuse with a 15a fuse, and now all is well, it even gave me back my seatbelt warning light, it never lit up, so it appears that the impact sensors and wiring are fine. The only difference between your truck and mine, mine is a single cab, so theres little to no chance that the wiring would have been damaged either under the passenger seat or the drivers seat, because theres wiring under there too.
I belive that wire is connected to the passenger presence module an that is what is tripping the airbag code because it lets the vehicle know whether or not to activate the airbags if someone is in that seat.
Thank you same thing happened to my Chevy Silverado 2005 1500 4.3
great help thanks! my airbag service indicator was coming on only when i had the passenger side switched off for the child with car seat. took a look under the seat and sure enough , a wire was broken at the connector pin. different wire btw.
That’s great! I’m glad I could help.. 👍🏼
Thank you !! Mine is a 04 and it had a second plug , next to the main plug that your wire was broken on.
Thanks for sharing this. It's so odd that the wire just broke like that. My 2003 Silverado 1500 has the same dashboard panel.
Mine just came on today. I was freaking out, fear that it will go off while I'm driving for NO REASON. I will check under the seat. I hope it's the passenger airbag and not the drivers. THANKS ALOT THIS VIDEO WAS GREAT
I checked under the seat, my harness is different and no wires are broken. Trying to figure out what to do next
You nailed my problem too! Thanks so much!
As long as there is no danger that the bag will randomly fire while I'm driving, then I can live with it for a while.
As I understand it, the system is disabled when the "Service Air Bag" light is on, so the bag should not activate randomly or even with a crash.
I don't even want the damn SIR system. I'm ready to buy a 1950's vintage pickup without any electronics.
Disconnect the battery first, folks!!! That's a biggie! Otherwise you might set them off. It could be very, very costly to you!!
Thomas Whitten sorry I did not put that in the video but yes disconnect it for at least 20min before you start working on it.
Anything to die with electrical.. you ALWAYS DISCONNECT
How was this not in the video 😳 I'm glad I saw this comment bc I wouldn't have thought of that
@@taylorsronce6041Welcome To UA-cam University 🤷🏼♂️
@@taylorsronce6041Because its not true, there MUST be wheel speed sensed in order for the signal to inflate can happen. I mean its not a bad idea, can't hurt anything, but its not that likely.
Figured under the seat could be a possibility as well, the seats were changed out in my 03 Sierra good video
Great info! Works on my 2012 Silverado crew cab ltz just disconnect and reconnect the wires and the air bag service light turn off 👍🏻
That’s great! Glad I could help out. 👍🏼
Fixed my Duramax today. 1 airbag sensor in middle of radiator bracket. Not 2 like the 1500’s.
Thanks man.it was my problem.but my wire was broke on driver side
Thank you very much appreciated. Yes and Disconnect the battery. Big help.
If that’s not the case where is the airbag sensor in the front bumper of my 2005 Chevy Tahoe?
Fixed my light in my 2004 Sierra! Thanks for pointing this out!!
Very helpful, thanks!
... except, I have a 3500 p/u truck. I'm not sure how I will get to the wire harness you got to, not having a back door access to the back of the front passenger seat.
But I do thank you. I'll take a look, the truck needs to be smogged by end of the month. The light came on last week,, it's come on before for a while too.
I will check in the Morning for this , Great Video I thank you so much.
Fixed my car with that advice!!! Great job malaka!!!! Thank you
bill k
😂😂 you’re welcome!!

Gota love chevy turn 1 light off 2 come on hahahahhhaah my chevy had alot of lights on still ran 350k miles before it really needed work
Crazy. . . I got the same 2 lights on. Service air bag and service tire monitor
Thanx fr input ! Be safe !
Great video. Clear and concise. I have an 06 suburban with 273,000 miles on it and I get an engine light. Have replaced the Knox sensors and the harness OEM twice so something else is going on there wondering if you have had the same challenge with your vehicle?
If you live in a winter climate , where ? what do you look for in the bumper and what do you do ?
Gonna try this tmw morning thanks
Excellent
Very helpful information
Thank you after I had my truck washed I got a feeling the mobile detailer quick rash job must have disconnected the same wire you show. Thank you very much.
Wow thank you and great video

There is a vehicle REPURCHASE recall on these trucks for front seat air bags and the seat covers having issues...
Please do a video on how you got 60 pounds of oil pressure I am now a subscriber
I got this service warning and a service traction control warning after replacing the Bcm..
I have a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer with this exact same problem, the service air bag message is on the dashboard. I’m going to try looking under the front passenger’s seat to try fixing it like this.
Hello, I have the same problem, only I already checked the passenger one and all the cables are fine, in the driver's seat I found a disconnected pin that also generates the light
Thanks Bud, u da best!
Thank you for this video. Fixed my problem!!!
Part Greek !!! Had to follow
Heavy_Haul_N_Fool
Nice! Thanks for subscribing. 👍🏻
Great video, awesome!
im more impressed with the oil pressure!
yea, he needs a new oil pressure sensor, a bitch to get to but can be done.
Thanks for sharing this info
Great presentation. Can you share with us why air bag would not be deployed upon impact/crash head on. Driving 35-40 mph. Can you tell which brand or manufacturer of air bag 2002 GM Chevrolet Suburban?
Dude it’s only been 10 years I’ve been looking at it
😂
What to do with no wire loose?
The light on my 06 silverado comes and goes I noticed it only comes on when I'm at a tilted angle checked both driver and passenger underseat but no wires to be seen ripped? What else could it be both impact sensors are good also could it be the cushion inside the seat with the liquid and sensor?
How do you get rid of the light with the car with a lock on it
thank you so much
Just checked mine on my avalanche and the wire isn't broken but still have the airbag light??
What if it has the "service air bag" message but not the airbag icon light?
Should I disconnect my battery before attempting to fix the wire?
Yes
How did you push the pin out?
is this the same for a 2000 gmc 1500 i don’t see the wiring harness under the passenger seat and it’s all the way up
How did you get the pin to back out of the connector?
You didn’t disconnect the battery??
Nice video I'm having trouble finding mine I nave a 2006 1500
kMizo whats It should all be under the passenger seat, if you just slide the seat all the way forward and take the plastic caps off you should be able to see the wire harness.
I've got a 99 Sierra and mines under the drivers seat
@@henrytoledo4103 was it a blue wire?
Can you hard wire this plug my plug ended up missing😅
I had the light come on in my 99 Silverado after I poked a test light into one of the wiring harnesses under my steering column. Now I’m not sure how to how to turn it off lol.
I have my service air bag on after I changed my driver seat on Tahoe 2003
Use some flux when you solder and it'll work a lot getter.
I didn’t find a yellow clip on the passenger side. I have a 2003 1500 GMC and removed the seat. Checked all connections all are locked in place. Still get “service air bag “. ???? Confusing the light come on when key is turned on goes off then comes back on
I have the same model truck, and I was talking to a mechanic hotline about the airbag light. They said there is also a body ground under the passenger seat carpet that might be corroded, so I want to check into that too.
Hello I have Cadillac Escalade 2002 and have the same problem the airbag light stay on ?
Thank you!!!
Both of my front sensors are out and I don't want to shell out the money to replace them. Is there a fuse for the SRS? Can I at least disable the rediculous chime? It's driving me crazy. I don't need air bags. I don't want to remove my Bose stereo. The chime goes through the front left speaker.
Yes I pulled out the fuse under the hood it should be a 15A and don’t have the light anymore
@@toptierfish9335 it also disables the navigation on the rear view mirror. I just deal with the annoying chime now.
@@jaybourbon8608 I didn’t notice I legit just pulled it cuz I didn’t want any check engine lights but u right / I also have pegged 80 psi oil so need a sensor and gas gauge is broke so just tryna make her look a little nicer
I have a message showing sac conflable on display ?
Can someone help me out? I have a 2004 2500hd and airbag light came on I looked under the pass seat and it looked like it came unplugged….. I can’t find the harness the seat plugs into….. amyone know where it comes out of the floor?
I got body work done on my 2012 GMC Terrain SLT. After i got it today from body shop he told me there is a air bag service light on and read out. What do i do to clear it?
Hello guys. Can you write the code of this mistake? I have Hummer h2 2002 and the code show me that there is a b0100.
Now you can fix the TPS and change your oil, lol!
Very cool....and helpful. Thanks for this informative video. Question; is there likewise an air bag connection under the driver's seat that's vulnerable to the same fate?
Yes, but can you fix it so that it doesn’t explode in my face?
Yeah just disconnect the airbag so it never goes off! 😂😂
Where can I buy the harness I do t have the wires under the passenger seats
Very helpful!! Thank You!!
Thanks for the helpful video, better check that oil pressure man! Probably the sending unit...
It was actually the oil pressure sensor. Thanks
Also known as sending unit.
@@doubleya215 Yes you are correct, the older I get the more I forget. Lol
The motor goes out on the speedometer very common with this platform so it’s probably nothing
Thank you excellent
RATs all's good. Gott'a borrow a TECH 2
My light turned on when when I was messing with the 4x4 switch
OK help me out. I got the airbag light on. I checked behind the passenger seat and all of the wires were good. I don’t have a code for any sensors. I checked under the steering wheel making sure all the cables from the airbags were good. I still get the airbag light on is there anywhere else I can check or maybe I need a double check again?
The airbag sensor behind the front bumper also goes bad and would make the airbag light come on.
@@GreeksGarage I don’t have any codes or pending codes on the O2 reader. They go bad doesn’t the computer send out a code for it? Because I don’t have any codes.
@@buddyrebel_Garcia it would just cause the airbag light to come on.
@@GreeksGarage OK, I’ll check it out thanks man
Dude thanks a lot problem solved
But can you show how to pry the tab so I don't break this thing?
IAMB
Haha yeah I know what you mean, it took me awhile to figure it out too.
@@GreeksGarage so how do you do it? Can you describe please?
IAMB
So if you look closely at the video there is a tab underneath if you take a flathead screwdriver and stick it underneath so you can push down on the tab the it will slide out towards the drivers side. If that makes sense.
@@GreeksGarage thanks for explaining this for me. I see two prong things sticking down. Which way do you direct the screwdriver. Can't really see the tab. Thanks!
IAMB
It’s kind of hard to explain but if you look at the video at about 59 seconds in you can see what the tab looks like.
good video bro
Thank you!
I have a question, my service airbag light is on but also the horn doesn’t horn at the steering wheel, would this connection prevent the horn from working?
The clock spring inside your steering wheel might be broken/damaged. That spring lives down in the base of the steering wheel, under the airbag itself. Please disconnect your battery for 15-20 minutes before messing with the airbag system. It could possibly save your life.
So if not that, what do you think might be the issue? Open to any inputs.
There’s an air bag sensor behind the front bumper in the middle. Hope that helps.
@@GreeksGarage I have one on order and should be here this week. Frustrated. I love my Tahoe and I can't afford to put her in a shop. Done the resistor thing, still didn't clear it up. Had no broke wires, so hopefully, that will fix it. Going to resolder the connector back in place. I'll let you know.. Thanks
Question. If I just changed the passenger seat for another one that doesn't have airbag, my service bag light came on, does really affect my truck?
There is no air bag sensor in the seat just wiring for the air bag that runs underneath the seat. I would check the wiring, or it could be the air bag sensor located in the front bumper.
@@GreeksGarage the seat that I removed it had the connector plug for airbag and the one that I installed it doesn't have that connector plug because it doesn't have airbag
@@GreeksGarage whats the yellow connector for?
Yellow connectors are what’s known as body sensors. DO NOT DISCONNECT! Body sensors “are” the sensors that tell the airbags to deploy. When they break upon impact they send a signal to the car to trip the bags. Good luck and disconnect your battery before working in this problem.
How do you turn off driver 1 airbag light off
What If the steering wheel controls don't work at all none of them? Is it the clock spring?
Broken Clock spring under the steering wheel have to remove the airbag. Google it chevy clock spring
@@johnnydeleon8863 coil under the steering wheel? What coil and where boss?
Gee would have been nice to know we have to disconnect the dang battery terminals 🤬
Oh nooo did yours go off?
Did you disconnect the battery first?
Arnold IC2
Yes I did, sorry I forgot to put that in the video. Still learning on making videos but I would disconnect the battery for at least 30min before starting on any airbag work. Thanks again for watching.
@@GreeksGarage no worries keep up the good work!👍
Mine came on when I moved my front seat up and down could that be the reason?
Yes, I would definitely check under the seat and see if any of the wires broke off.
@@GreeksGarage took it to a auto shop and they told me it was my seat belt clicker they did the codes . I’m so confused on how that happen and it would be 400 dollars to get it fixed
Next vide, How to Service tire monitor system 🤣
Lol.. yeah one of my tire sensors went out.
Can you just unhook the airbags? I've had one blow up in my face that's why i'm asking
You can but you will still have the airbag light on. Unless you take out the bulb in the dash.
Well I checked under the passenger seat and saw the harnesses were disconnected while one was stuck under the metal plating that the harnesses are supposed to sit on, if that makes sense.
How in the world did you get 60 pounds of oil pressure in that vehicle
Damn.. wasn't my isssue all my wires are in tact and look fine
